As someone who was there and spent most of 2011-2012, this video is gut wrenching. I love this song and this video popped up. I stuck through until about 5 seconds after the intro. I still remember watching TV and crying when Afghanistan fell. I knew it would, but that didn’t hurt any less. Say what you want about the occupation, but all I know is that a lot of my life was formed by living there and another part of me died there.
I work as a licensed therapist with veterans of the “wars on terror” who have come home with PTSD. Most of them haven’t been able to assimilate back into “regular” life without impaired functioning. This was a tough watch, but the tears were cathartic in a way. I’ve accumulated considerable second-hand trauma over the years.
@@ripjuiceman8009 yep, wanted to send it to a military bud but he doesn’t have an iPhone and it was too large to send so I found a better way then sent him the link lol
I knew some marines who, when the bombing happened, changed completely. They had a very hard time dealing with losing their brothers. Huge respect to the marines and soldiers out there.
Generation lost. I still am trying to get my afghan friends safe stateside but no movement from the SIV/DOD offices. One was there with his sons and daughter trying to get them through the wire the day of the suicide IED. Since that day its been a literal constant battle of life or death to avoid Taliban. Its too surreal after deploying there in 2019 with BAF functioning as a tiny city to see this all happen the way it has. Forgive us
There was an edit I saw forever ago. Same idea, same song, except it was footage from the earlier days of the invasion of Iraq. Haven’t been able to find it for a while.
i swear i thought that was Chris Heria on the left @ 0:02 for like a split second, but kick-ass song!👌 i gotta check out more of these guys' records. i hear shed is better.
So you think our boys should just stay overseas in forever wars until the end of time? Nation building, especially in the Middle East, was never going to work
Idk why people place this on him so much. I don't think Biden is the brightest of individuals and really don't care for his current management of things, but this shit was bound to happen sooner or later because every president before him couldn't figure out that this shit wasn't worth sticking for in the first place. Biden just so happened to be the one to have this shit sandwich plopped right in front of at the beginning of his presidency. If it wasn't Biden who was inaugurated, chances are the same shit would have happened to Trump to. The Taliban enclosed in, the pussy corrupt Afghani government (a pattern for American-made homebrew democracies for nations that evidently are not compatible with such a system) tucked tail and ran, and in the end this is so evidently the culmination of a 20 year shitshow that should have never happened in the first place. Get your head out of your ass and take a step back to see the bigger picture rather than subscribing to the utterly retarded polarized two party politics we Americans brainwash ourselves with.

Popped up on my algorithm. Absolute god tier video
One of the most pointless conflicts ever. War never fucking changes

More people need to see this, what a tragedy.
Please share. I don’t post a ton of videos but saw this one and thought it was too good not to put on YT. Incredible tragedy
@@TheNewMode Yeah I shared it with some friends, I saw this on Instagram and am glad you documented it on RUclips!

My son shared it with many
It's been almost a year...these are still fresh in the minds of everyone around the world.
I knew some marines who, when the bombing happened, changed completely. They had a very hard time dealing with losing their brothers. Huge respect to the marines and soldiers out there.
I still cry watching this video almost 6 months later
11 months later
Nah this needs to be archived. Absolutely insane piece of American history here

all of those citizens crying for the marines... joe biden is horrible

Honestly, who the fuck can support Biden after this?
Joe Biden was not alone in this decision. Entire checks and balances has failed us.

Why is it Joe Biden’s fault that Afghanistan can’t govern itself? No point in being stuck in these forever wars either
such a good video.
Why were they shooting/aiming at some of the people?
Idk, my best guess is that it was blank rounds and they were trying to control the crowd somehow.
To control the crowd . They are blank rounds
Warning shots, they only responded to violence.
@@phonkaddict2119 no one had blanks to my knowledge
@@Chris16546 violence against the USA's illegal occupation of the country they didn't ask for or want?
nice william hayford good video
yo video loss
2/1 here rah
are these all marines? they're mostly wearing MARPAT
It’s a mix , US Army , US Marines and some German soldiers.
Many different nations, green marpat was 1/8, the deserts were 2/1
Blame Joe Biden

Let's Go Brandon!

You have no idea what this is do you. You think you’re awake, but that’s when the nightmare really starts.
if only you know how the real world works.
@@corpstilldeath6744Edgy 👻
@@kadzzzz6177no, these trained soldiers are murderers. Nothing really much else other than mercenaries hired to protect global interests.
Thanks, Biden.
Thanks Joe Biden
